The Wildland Urban Interface/Intermix (WUI)
● Started in the late 1980’s● Goal was to collect data to validate defensible space
regulations● Later revised to provide statistical information and
added hazard mitigation● Program was informal, and inconsistent throughout
the state ● Not all fire losses were recorded● Utilized paper forms
History of CAL FIRE’s Damage Inspection Program
● ESRI Collector App utilized● Centralized electronic database for
structure loss data● Rapid and efficient data collection● Choose what data to collect● Improved data quality and reporting● Connect photos and data geospatially
● Analyze Fire Safe Regulations● PRC 4290 – Fire Safe Development● PRC 4291 – Defensible Space Requirement● CBC Chapter 7A – WUI building standards
● Further analysis
